WAGONTIRE, Ore. (AP) — Oregon State Police say one person was injured and 10 cattle are dead after a truck hauling a loaded cattle trailer crashed on U.S. Highway 395 north of Wagontire in Eastern Oregon.

Sgt. Brian Williams says the trailer’s load shifted Wednesday afternoon as the truck negotiated a curve. The truck and trailer tipped onto their left side, slid off the highway and came to rest in a ditch.

The truck driver was unhurt. A passenger was taken by ambulance to a Burns hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
